I Voted!

On Sunday, Mike and I took part in the early voting offered here in Wake County. We found a location nearby (Cary Towne Centre mall) and arrived at 3:25 to find what seemed to be a long line. However, the process was extremely well-organized and it only took us about 35 minutes before we were finished.

Even though we knew who we wanted for the Presidential race, we spent quite a bit of time researching local candidates and creating cheat sheets to take with us. It was a lot of work but in the end I felt like I made more informed decisions in years past. I didn't just vote straight party ticket. And I also took the time to make actual choices for the judges instead of just voting randomly based on names.

A lot of states have very close races, including North Carolina so it's good to feel like my vote might actually count this year. So, whether you can vote early or you have to wait until November 4th, make sure you get out and vote!
